Southport in photographs

Last Monday, Tyrone and I took the Merseyrail into Southport. It was a pleasant journey along the coast, and it gave us some inspiration for other places we could visit along that particular route.

Southport is an old fashioned British seaside town, although there appears to be a lot of modern architecture popping up all over the place. It is home to the second longest pier in the British Isles, which we decided to walk to the end of to sit and eat our picnic. I was a little disappointed that the pier didn’t reach the sea. In fact, the sea was miles out. It’s not really the type of beach resort where you can go and dip your toes in the sea.

We enjoyed a trip to the arcade, and a pink and white Mr Whippy style ice-cream (we’re big kids at heart), before taking a wonder through the shops in the town. We found an antique shop that was like an Aladdin’s cave and seemed to go on forever. I ended up purchasing some comics (for shoe making), and resisted adding to my vinyl record collection.

Enjoyed this post? Why not share it...

What beautiful pictures! It’s disappointing to hear that the pier didn’t reach the sea but at least you got to enjoy some clean fresh air, right? The areas near the oceans and bodies of water here in the Philippines aren’t clean at all… I always have to hold my breath near Manila Bay or any of the nearby rivers. It’s unfortunate.

Southport looks like a really nice place! The line of ducks are cute! I like how uniform they are. Is it one of those places where you can only admire the waters and not go down? Hopefully you can find yourself an actual sea to make up for this :).

Living for today is probably the best advice – I really need to stop worrying about the future so much and just get on with stuff.

Southport looks lovely in those photos. I haven’t been for years! I never thought the pier was really that impressive. I liked the shops on there (if they exist still) but other than that it was just !a pier haha. Hope you had a lovely time!

The photos are beautiful, Holly!
Southport looks like a calm and pretty place.
Too many ducks in perfect lines, ahha, that’s cute!
Even if the pier didn’t reach the sea, the water is super clean! unlike the water bodies around here!
